D.C. loves its cherry blossoms, and one of the fun bits of spring is seeing how local businesses and cultural institutions work the pink and white buds into their programming. One entry into this canon is ARTECHOUSE's best exhibit, a colorful wonder that's a tribute to spring flowers. Wander through the space and admire all the (virtual) botanical wonders—don't forget to nab a drink from the excellent on-site bar.
Time Out tip: Seeing an installation at ARTECHOUSE isn't the same undertaking as visiting a Smithsonian museum. The small space is manageable and each reservation covers one hour, so this is a perfect activity to pair with something else before or after whether that's a short walk to see the real cherry blossoms at the Tidal Basin or dinner nearby (maybe a coveted res at Dōgon or one of the many eateries on The Wharf?).
